Cougar – ish tigers!!!

Postby melinda » Wed 03 Mar, 2010 12:44 pm

Hi all you cougar - ish tigers out there!
Another thread got me started on this and i really think I should run with it, so....... :lol:
I've been working hard a my 'tiger' status recently, that's the main aim.
However, I was introduced to the 'cougar' concept on a walk recently, and am quite taken with the idea.
So I would like other 'cougarish - tigers' out there to reply and tell me their thoughts on the subject.
My first one would be what makes good 'cougarish - tiger' bait!!!!
Melinda :wink: :wink: :wink:

Hi Macca81,
'Tiger walker' is a nickname for somebody who does very hard, long bushwalks. (Extremely hard, extremely long)
As for the 'cougar' bit, well, I'll let somebody else explain.
As for 'cougar bait", well, I'll let others define that!!!! :wink:

So... your after a young bloke who can go extremely hard/long, presumably a good looking fella who also cant find someone his own age or has some sort of (extraordinary) quirk for old chooks, (sorry 'cougars' may be a less offensive term for the same thing), and your wondering how to 'bait' one (?) (so assuming he also must be slow enough to be baited?, also assuming you arent really well off and believe any such relationship would be more than a one night stand (perhaps a sneeze would give more satisfaction)) Anyhow, yer... perhaps this will be interesting... or even unpredictable :roll:

Yep, queue the usual "I'm offended because I can be, whaaaa" brigade*, and subsequent moderator hack and slash. :cry:

(*not aimed at SBS...)

Here's a thought - can we call cougar-ish tigers... mountain lions?

Aren't cougar walkers people that lurk in the bush and then pounce on and consume solitary joggers?

All this makes me think of the masculine and feminine as regards bushwalking. Does being a tiger walker raise his or her masculinity vibe from being in nature? Does your partner find you more male and sexy when you come back from a long walk(after the long shower)?

How old do you have to be to be a cougar? I don't reckon I could possibly qualify! As for tiger walking, once upon a time I did such things but I have matured enough to realise that enjoying the walk is more important than going long and hard. (Which could be applied to other things as well).
Do cougars want more than a one night stand, or perhaps a one walk stand?

By the way Nuts, old(er) "chooks" can have quite a lot going for them - less likely to want babies, less likely to want to tie you down, more likely to have some money (in theory) etc.

As for bait, I think the prey would need to answer that, I certainly wouldn't have a clue!

I think the best bait for cougars to use is from an energetic point of view. If a woman really gets into her femininy, her softness and her heart, just a smile from such a deep place can make any man disolve and be uplifted :oops: for hours. However, a feminine woman like that would probably not be interested in most younger guys that could perform like a porn star but not make a real emotional and heart connection. More mature guys have an advantage in that. :D :D :D

Yes, the moderators are still around. This topic does have the potential to go beyond the family suitable guidelines, so please be careful. A couple of posts are already rather close to the line.

As for me, I guess I'm the male equivalent. But "cradle snatcher" (as my mates used to call me) doesn't have quite the same ring to it. :(

:D Don't worry Nik.
I'm up the back row eating popcorn with Ollie, enjoying the entertainment. It is in the 'Between Walks' area after all, and it is about real life, and kids would'nt understand - and no 'Language' :D Who Knows where the discussion may go, it may even head down the track of 'Meaningfull Relationships' and what is involved in 'finding 'one. It is fairly obvious that age is not necessarily important. Just as my opinion only, if we throw mutual trust and respect into the mix of energy and desire, we end up with something pretty engaging - throw in a couple of common interests and look out! :D
Pass the popcorn Ollie :D

I reckon when I got married my fiance looked like a cradle snatcher - I looked about 15 (I wasn't) and he was 28.

So what's the bloke that gets cougared called?

Puerile, this is highly intellectual compared to what I just watched - 15 minutes of Cougar Town to educate myself - remembered exactly why I don't tend to change channels from ABC and SBS. Good grief, I've never seen such rubbish!

Well, I definitely don't qualify on either count. I used to be a bit of a tiger walker (as I understand the term, which was at least as much about speed as distance and difficulty) but my body won't let me do that any more and I'm far more interested in being in the place than getting through it these days.
As for cougars, they hunt. I really couldn't be bothered. No man is worth the effort.
